It’s 8:00pm, and we’ve finally hit the halfway point. A viewing of The Wizard has helped us to reach this moment, along with a spirited contest to determine who could best utter the epic word California as well as the single greatest villain declaration ever: I love the Power Glove. It’s so bad. Jimmy took the prize for California, while Seth won for the Power Glove remark, which he claimed was due to him being perhaps the only person in the entire world to have successfully mastered the Power Glove for its original purpose back in the 8-bit era.

We moved on to arguing about whether or not Seth overtipped the blonde pizza delivery girl. He insisted he did not, with Jimmy taking his side, citing the convoluted order she was tasked with managing, which consisted of three special order pizzas, breadsticks, desserts, and several liters of soda. Seth also pointed out that she had no trouble finding our tent amidst the rest of the geeky shantytown.

Chris decried her for what he perceived as visible contempt for the lot of us and the night’s mission. I maintained it was simply a question of mathematics, as even with what I admitted was superior delivery service fifteen dollars was too much to give. The argument concluded when we all agreed that she was hot (according to Jimmy, she’d make for a most exquisite fox-girl).

Currently we’re asking each other random questions. “I got one,” I say, chugging down the final swig from a bottle of Dr. Pepper, the only carbonated beverage I’ve ever chugged. “What was one of the crazy beliefs you held as a child?”

“I ruined my first NES deck on a crazy rumor I bought into,” says Seth. “On the bottom of the NES there was an expansion port. As far as I know, Nintendo never did release any official device that made use of the port. But it was there, and its lack of purpose perplexed me as a kid. So when my friend told me that you could play Sega Master System games by inserting them into the port and it was this really big secret Nintendo didn’t want people to know about, I believed him. We tried it with an Alex Kidd cartridge, and when it didn’t fit, we tried to force it and wound up breaking the cartridge.”

We all laugh. “A double agent employed by Nintendo but secretly working for Sega could have engineered it,” says Jimmy. “I might have believed that had someone told me about it. And I have a NES myth of my own. A friend of a friend of mine was playing through the second quest of The Legend of Zelda for the first time and he’d finally reached level 9 when he had to go to his grandmother’s for the weekend. He took his NES with him and so he faced Ganon on his grandma’s old black and white television. Now Ganon was ordinarily invisible when you fought him, but somehow a black and white picture made him visible for the entire fight, or so this friend of a friend claimed.
